Explanation:

The Whiskey Rebellion was a 1794 rebellion of farmers and brewers in western Pennsylvania, opposing the federal government's whiskey levy.

The area finally exploded after years of conflict with tax collectors in a conflict that culminated in President Washington sending soldiers to silence what some thought might become a full-blown revolt.

Resistance to both the whiskey levy and the revolt itself generated momentum for the Republicans, who in 1802 overtook the Federalist Party for power in Washington.

The Whiskey Rebellion is perceived as one of the newly formed US government's first major tests of authority.
